Intro

The verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal upholding President Buhari’s victory at the 2019 election has been rejected by the Peoples Democratic Party.

According to a satement released by the party, it described the judgement by the 5-man panel as ‘subversion of justice and direct assault on the integrity of our nation’s justice system”.

According to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the tribunal failed to point to justice despite the pieces of evidence laid before it by the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

“The party is particularly shocked that the tribunal failed to point to justice despite the flawless evidence laid before it, showing that President Buhari was not only unqualified to contest the election but also did not score the majority of valid votes at the polls.
